A MAN who filmed himself lying on top of a Translink Glider bus in west Belfast is assisting police with their enquiries.

Police said today the man had been "identified" after a video showing the stunt was watched thousands of times on social media platform TikTok.

Yesterday, police said they were investigating after the footage was reported by Translink.

The video showed a man climbing on to the bus at a stop.

The footage included shots of the man filming himself as the bus moved down the Falls Road into Belfast city centre.

A Translink spokeswoman said the company had reported the video to police.

"We strongly condemn this extremely reckless and dangerous act which puts lives at risk," she said.
